hi...

I confused about Google Link Popularity if how this popularity really helps to make website get on the top on SERPs?
coz.. I tried a Google search with a certain keywords and I found out that the number one in result page have only 5 google inlinks and next is a site with 41 Google inlinks....

Why the site have 5 inlinks is in the number one slot not the site that have 41 inlinks?

any explanation for this..



thanks....
